Customers in today\u2019s world expect a seamless interaction with a business. Because of this, your organisation\u2019s essential business processes and interactions with customers, partners and employees increasingly depends on tailored innovative digital solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Developer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The teams who develop and manage these solutions – developers – are at the heart of the organisation. They\u2019re critical in enabling your organisation to respond to your customer\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when it comes to digital innovation, speed is crucial but so is having a structured plan in place. At the same time, innovation is open to everyone. Therefore, organisations need the right tools to create a culture of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional developers can use Visual Studio<\/a> and GitHub<\/a> to modernise existing and develop new applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also empower a new stream of innovation\u2013 citizen developers. These employees understand a business process and want to improve on it but might not have the developer expertise. Now with Power Apps<\/a>, they can use low\/no code solutions to build what they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are six ways to build a customer-centric culture by empowering your developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move to the public cloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Innovation happens faster in the cloud. Whether you need to modernise existing applications, simplify complex environments or create new apps, you can benefit from the scalability and flexibility of Azure<\/a>. Developers can build on a secure foundation in any language or foundation, from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplify complex and distributed environments across multiple clouds and edge environments with Azure Hybrid<\/a> cloud solutions. Bring Azure management to your entire IT estate and run Azure services anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the UK\u2019s leading omnichannel payments business, PayPoint<\/a> needs to maintain business as usual while managing increasing demand for its services. With Azure, they were able to respond with agility and even develop and deploy new functionality without downtime to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shorten time-to-market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a Gartner survey study<\/a>, positive customer experiences drive more revenue, higher employee satisfaction and greater customer retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisations have a strong sense of urgency in going digital. This is driving demand for tools and services that shorten time-to-market and drive those positive customer experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With tools like Azure DevOps<\/a> and Visual Studio Code<\/a>, with automation through DevOps Pipelines<\/a>, GitHub <\/a>Actions<\/a>, the ability to streamline business processes with Power Automate<\/a> and more increases the efficiency of your developer teams. They can then focus on innovating the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reassess investments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customers increasingly expect products and services that factor in what they care about \u2013 be that macro topics like climate impact, or micro impacts such as their experience interacting with your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet these demands, organisations must find new ways to deliver service at scale. They need to focus on and connect with the customer experience \u2013 no matter how many business units, systems, supply chains and processes that customer journey may span. And do this all while reducing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This requires a new way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many organisations are starting by setting a strategic approach and thinking of themselves as a software company first. Then, they\u2019re leveraging digital technology to deliver on their vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions built using the Azure platform offer near-instant provisioning of resources. This lowers innovation costs and enables a faster time-to-market. In fact, Forrester found the average cost to develop an application is 74 percent less with Power Apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower developers<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to McKinsey & Company<\/a>, organisations with developer velocity experience four to times faster revenue growth, 60 percent higher return to shareholders, and 20 percent higher operating margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unleash the creative energy of developers by leveraging Azure innovation tools. This enables them to build productively, foster secure collaboration, and remove barriers so they can scale faster innovation at lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help them build the skills they need to bring ideas to life with certifications and training<\/a>. Give developers autonomy, decision making and automate back-end processes so they can focus on bringing innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive citizen development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over 86 percent of organisations already struggle to hire developers<\/a>. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2023<\/a>, there will be four times as many end-user or citizen developers, compared to experienced developers in enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower the people closest to the problem to become citizen developers and solve problems themselves. With low\/no code solutions like Power Apps<\/a> anyone, regardless of their technical capability, can work together on the same platform to create solutions with a high level of agility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heathrow Airport<\/a> employees have eliminated 75,000 pages of paperwork and reduced data entry by nearly 1,000 hours through the low-code development of 30 apps, helping the airport reduce its costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infuse intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The applications that both developers and citizen developers are building are powering important customer centric business processes. By applying AI and machine learning, organisations can infuse intelligence with real-time personalisation and serve up customised algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alder Hey Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, uses Azure\u2019s integrated platform with AI to build an algorithm that predicts bed space utilisation. The data is then available on Power BI so healthcare employees can quickly and simply understand the insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower developers to build a customer-centric culture<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By unleashing the full potential of developers and citizen developers, organisations will enable growth, solve a wide range of business problems, and drive digital modernisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to McKinsey,<\/a> organisations with a developer mindset have 4 to 5 times higher revenue growth and 55 percent higher innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build a growth mindset culture where developers can drive innovation from anywhere, powered by a comprehensive portfolio of technology that complements your business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
